Information on the 2018 rally
=== Information concerning the Brighton 2018 Free The Nipple Rally ===

The Brighton Rally is a yearly event promoting the Free The Nipple cause. It is advertised at the website https://brightonfreethenipple.wordpress.com. This infobox gives some details on the surroundings of the 2018 event.

7th of July 2018 in southern England

The day of the rally was also the day the London Pride CSD march took place and the day of the Soccer World Championship England vs Sweden game, that was won by England. It was a sunny and hot saturday during the summer vacation time.

The Sunday Times (8th july 2018 edition) featured an artcle on the soccer game illustrated with an image of spectators (a signifacant number of them topless) of the game in Brighton spaning pages 2 and 3.

The CSD march in London drew critic by acitvists as thousends of participants had been excluded for security reasons. This has been interpreted as an action agiant LGBTI. But near the parade there was also the celebration of 100 years of RAF.

Contrary in Brighton police only handled traffic accidents and other smaller incidents that where not connected with the rally or the soccer game.
